Jacksonville Substitute Teacher Charged After Student Reported Him to Principal, Station Reports

A substitute teacher who worked at a Jacksonville high school was arrested on a warrant Monday and charged in connection with alleged sexual activity with a student, News4JAX reported, citing the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. The station reported the charges include two counts of unlawful sexual activity with certain minors, offenses against students by an authority figure, traveling to meet a minor to commit unlawful acts, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device.

According to News4JAX's account of the arrest report, the investigation started when a student raised concerns with the school's principal. Investigators allege the substitute had an inappropriate relationship with the student beginning over the summer and that there was further inappropriate contact once the school year was underway. The station reported that detectives reviewed messages between the two before the arrest.

The school district told reporters the substitute is no longer working in its schools, and the principal sent a message to families acknowledging the news, according to coverage of the case. The accused has not been convicted, and the charges remain allegations; notadragqueen.org does not name people accused of these offenses. Full details are in the original reporting linked below.
